That was a difficult choice, and one I’ve been mulling over for several visits to the thread. Had a shortlist of 3, and one of them would have been the clear choice were it not for its (modern) tyres.
Decision made 👍
 
Fantastic month! So many stunning bikes, Only having one vote was torture! Normally just pick the bike I’d most like to ride, that didn’t work this month! I kinda want a go on every one of them.
 
Strong bunch here. I’ve gone for the ‘91 Fire Mountain. My first proper MTB. Memories every time I see that powdery blue colour.
 
Once all shown "together" became even more difficult than I had thought! Almost stick-a-pin time. Had to be rigid and just a bit different and ideally an Explosif, so ...

  • Once A Hero’s 1990 Explosif​

 
Congratulations @al-onestare very well deserved!

And what a fantastic way to celebrate the Master Pip.




Ps, I think the fantastic photo helped. Any tips? What did you use?
 
Nice one Al - a very fitting winner 👍
Quite happy to be runner up to your very cool Explosif 😊
Thanks to all for taking the time to enter - a fitting tribute to the man himself 👍 😊

Well done on a convincing win @al-onestare. A badge will be winging its way to you momentarily.

@Peachy! I believe the pics were taken by a photographer at the Kona store 2022 product launch.

I was glad to see my old Explosif do so well against a crazy strong field. A big thanks goes out to everyone for taking the time to enter their bikes.
